Nice customer huh.. (Page 1 of 2)

Z I think your uncle sounds like a good and patroitic american,and I agree the other guy sounds like a jerk.

A free market is much more than the lowest price.   And like topdown, while I don't agree with the not-a-customer's opinion on the matter, I respect his right to have one and shop accordingly.  There a a lot of establishments I don't buy from based on that, no matter what price point they may provide.

Ill take the 5th  to up hold my mantra, church and state dont mix. So I stay off the topic.

Two people who are living the way they want to. I think the would-be customer is foolish for walking away from a good deal on a guitar because your uncle is willing to utter the 'G' word.

i would remind you guys that one of the golden chordie rules is; NO RELIGION. and another NO POLITICS.

i saw a notice on the bar of a pub which read:-

                                 IN GOD WE TRUST, EVERYONE ELSE PAYS CASH

Or the GREAT PUMPKIN

The Great Pumpkin is a figure from the Peanuts comic strip.  It's associated with bringing candy on Halloween much like the Easter Bunny brings candy at Easter.

Well there's the problem.  Your uncle should sell guitars.

I will second that is funny,zurf puts a nice twist on things.

I, also am not religous, but it would not keep me from buying the product.  That, sir, is stupidity with a blindfold on. I am not buying your beliefs, I am buying your product. I also agree with Jeff. I don't like it pushed at me, but I don't consider it to be pushed in my face in this case. Now if you say I have to come to your church, I will not buy it.

Hi y'all

I've been lurking for a couple of years, rarely logging in but I have sporadically kept up with the forum posts.  I couldn't resist this one!

God bless America? Why?  No other country on earth would dream of turning something so crass into a slogan.  Certainly not one that has to be used to close political speeches, sales deals and all the other self righteous, in your face self congratulatory uses to which it is routinely put.  Makes my blood boil.  Shouldn't you be blessing others rather than yourselves?  I don't believe in God either which is why unless a conversation is started involving the existence of God it doesn't get mentioned.  Shouldn't this be the way rather than having the concept in your face from the beginning?  I refer you all to one of my early songs posted on here;

if you read the comments underneath it explains why I wrote it and partly why I responded here.

Cheers guys, keep on rocking in the free world

hi bonedaddy, i looked back as you suggested and i'm so glad i did, i came across some names that haven't appeared here for some time. and i remembered conversations i had with them and i realized how much i miss their posts and their views.
as far as your song goes, yes it is well written and your thoughts are forcefully put. well done.

so regardless of peoples religious principles, thoughts and beliefs, we should all respect them and try not to foist our beliefs on those who do not share our beliefs.

let us prey that in this enlightened age, followers of all religions and non-religions can agree to disagree and co-exist in harmony and love. at the end of the day; surly that is what we all crave?
